All the way to the Novo Nordisk Way
1. Have an open mind You might have a list of potential employers in your mind already when attending the CEMS Career Forum and maybe even decided upon your dream job and location in the world. If you have an open mind, you might experience opportunities you didn’t even know existed 2. Ask all the questions you might have... …as long as you actually want to know the answer. By asking irrelevant questions to seem smart, you will leave a bad impression with the company representative. 3. Be prepared No one will give you a pop-quiz and ask you to reside your company knowledge, but the more you know, the more relevant information you can get.
